That IS insane. Hollyoaks is dreadful. Confused

If I lose something and can’t find it for ages, I ask the little people politely to return it.
Yes it sounds mad.

I actually think I may have powers. BlushConfused Anytime someone has done me wrong like quite badly I've wished bad on them and it's happened. Pretty serious things too yes it may be a coincidence but these things relate to either what they did to me. Or what I've wished on them. I wouldn't dare mention this in rl but I just needed to say it.

I used to believe in determinism I.e. the belief that our decisions are part of an unbreakable chain of cause and effect and that free will is an illusion.

Now I believe in the multiverse: there are an infinite number of alternative universes in existence, of which we only experience one. I like that thought. That somewhere some place a different me has a better life.

Humans once had tails (ages ago)

World class at being a steaming pile of horseshit in televisual form? Indeed it is.

Raw egg yolks on toast is the best comfort food ever.

Are you ok!??

LaurieFairyCake · 23/08/2021 23:35

That I don't believe in life after death (heaven) as a Christian

FancySomeChips · 23/08/2021 23:36

I sense when someone is very newly pregnant. I don’t know what it is, but it happens, all the time. Too often, it’s quite bizarre!
When they aren’t showing or have literally just found out.
Twice over the last few years I have had a “funny feeling” leading me to call a friend on the other side of the country and she has literally just wee’d on a stick and found out herself.

I believe that we are just tiny beings and our whole world was grown on a petri dish and the creature that grew us looks at us down a microscope like we look at bacteria down a microscope

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/08/2021 23:42

Humans did once have tails

Santa does exist. I think I just wanted to believe it so much when I was a child. I mean on a practical level I know it’s not true but the dreamer/child in me believes it.

malmi · 23/08/2021 23:46

Will we ever build a computer simulation of a human brain that is sufficiently accurate that consciousness arises and it becomes self aware?

If you think we eventually will, it's most likely already happened long ago. We are indeed just computer simulations of a creature that existed long ago.

That if you eat two bananas in a row then spin around, you die. I heard it once and I know it sounds fucking ridiculous but I am way too scared to prove the "theory" wrong.

AlCalavicci · 23/08/2021 23:51

That people on MN tell the truth , but I am aware thats bonkers !

Can I give you a few names and you can wish then bad? 😂

That we are in some kind of computer game- basically we are sims, being controlled by some kind of sociopathic alien.

TSSDNCOP · 23/08/2021 23:58

Just as I have a feeling of "life is good" it totally goes to shit within 24 hours.

AllisoninWunderland · 23/08/2021 23:59

@ActonSquirrel have you read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig? If not do so as it’s about that very concept of the multiverse.

The awful reviews put me off.

I liked the play constellations though

Sattherelikealemon · 24/08/2021 00:03

Often when I think a mean or angry thought about someone I accidentally hurt myself. Not badly but say stubbed toe or funnybone level so quite sharp and not nice. It's happened countless times

I think the same! God is a gamer.
